Overview
The Lake Placid Nitro 8.8 is an adjustable youth ice skate with a molded plastic shell, hinged cuff, and locking quick fit buckles, built to expand across a size range as a child's foot grows. The carbon steel blade is nickel plated and heat treated, and arrives sharpened.
The whole point of this skate is the push button sizing, which lets one pair cover roughly three shoe sizes and get reused for a sibling afterward, so the pitch is value over a season or two rather than a competition grade boot.
- Molded plastic shell with hinged cuff
- Washable, adjustable comfort fill liner
- Locking quick fit buckles for fast on and off
- Nickel plated, heat treated carbon steel blade
Who it's for
Fits a family with a growing kid who skates casually a few times a winter and wants to avoid buying new boots every season. Not the pick for a child skating aggressively or often enough that a cracked shell would be a real risk.
Pros and cons
- Push button sizing lets one pair last across a size range
- Buckles are fast and easy for kids to manage themselves
- Molded plastic shell reported to crack at the blade mount on some pairs
- Liner can be a little fiddly to reseat after removal
- Not intended for skaters progressing past casual or beginner use
